Zarqawi poised to revitalize al-Qaida
Edited on Fri May-20-05 11:10 PM by ECH1969
WASHINGTON, DC, United States (UPI) -- The Jordanian behind so much Iraqi violence is positioned to become a global terrorist eclipsing Osama bin Laden, a French terrorism expert says.

Abu Musab al Zarqawi is widely considered a lesser figure in al-Qaida, and one periodically out of favor with bin Laden. However, Alexis Debat, an expert who has reviewed extensive international intelligence documents, said Thursday that Zarqawi is using Iraq to establish a base for a global network -- a new incarnation of al-Qaida that will be even more difficult to fight.

"Whoever controls the base controls the organization. The base is in Iraq. It used to be in Afghanistan," he said. "It is a new starting point for a new organization."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Not only has Bush spent hundreds of billions of our dollars and almost two thousand American lives, but he has made the world alot less safe. Even if Zarqawi were killed tomorrow the thousands of jihadists that the Iraq War has trained and produced will not go away. We are less safe right now just as our children will be because of this. Mission Accomplished.

11. "Z" guy is a creation of Chimp Admin's propaganda dept- so is "Al" Kyduh
Unbelievable how dumb they think we really are.

Funny thing, no one questions it.

Just like the "voting" on American Idol-
-not once has any one on the show attempted to verify, show, explain or confirm who counts the votes or how they are counted,--- nor have they ever attempted to confirm the legitimacy or integrity of their electronic polling system.

We just accept it.
